Fujifilm has stopped making motion-picture film.
Yes, digital is easier. Yes, it has good definition. Yes - and this is VERY important - it's better for the environment.
It's still the passing of an era. The original motion-picture film was nitrate-based. Not only was it highly flammable, it decomposed easily and rapidly (one of the reasons why so many silents are gone).
Safety film took over in the early 1950s, and it deteriorates too, just not the way nitrate stock does. And now, one major producer no longer makes it. Me? I'd like to see it stay around.
